Project problems-low or no profitability, client alienation, litigation - flow much more from miscommunication than from technical deficiencies. Sometimes our desire to do excellent technical work causes us to give too little attention to inter-personal issues. To minimize such problems, a project manager...
Think about the business, government, academic, and volunteer organizations that you know well. You could place each in one of these three categories: Surviving, or barely so; thriving or close to it; and exceling. While the "survivors" do just enough to get by, the "thrivers," which constitute the vast...
This presentation will discuss ancillary structure types and past failures, introduction to the wind loads and problems from resulting vibrations/fatigue. Discussion on galvanized steel, aluminum, and weathering steel commonly used and potential problems with these. We will cover inspection procedures...
NDDOT will overview their use of Intelligent Construction technologies such as Paver-Mounted Thermal Profiling (PMTP), Intelligent Compaction (IC), Density Profiling System (DPS), and E-Ticketing in North Dakota. NDDOT will share how this comprehensive project data can improve construction practices...
This webinar will provide a briefing on the latest trends in interchange design, operations, and safety. From diverging diamonds, single-point diamonds, and roundabouts at interchanges, this session will give an update on the current state of practice across the nation for planning and designing freeway...
Welcome to the 3-part webinar series on Culvert Hydraulics. In this presentation, we will discuss the introduction and overview of the webinar series as well as recognizing the importance of culvert design for roadways. We will go over standard culvert nomenclature, features, etc. This presentation will...
In this presentation, we will explore the history and evolution of quality assurance in roadway materials sampling and testing, highlighting the critical role these processes play in ensuring durable, safe, and cost-effective infrastructure. We will discuss the origins of quality assurance practices...
Scour is a phenomenon where the flow of water erodes streambed and bank material. This erosion can threaten the stability of critical infrastructure like dams, bridges, culverts, and roadways, making it a vital concern for engineers. Among these structures, bridges are particularly vulnerable, as scour...
An important tool for identifying and reducing hazards in any industry; a job hazard analysis (JHA), also called a job safety analysis (JSA), is a technique to identify the dangers of specific tasks in order to reduce the risk of injury to workers. This presentation will discuss the following items...
Explore how traditional traffic engineering has unintentionally prioritized speed over safety, endangering pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike. In this presentation, we'll examine the flawed principles behind conventional road design and how they impact our communities. Discover innovative, human-centered...
